With sweeping views of the ocean, verdant surroundings and great weather year-round, Puerto Vallarta is a dream come true for any golfer.

Now righteously classified as a world-class golf destination, Puerto Vallarta's offerings have come a long way since Los Flamingos - the area's very first golf course - was built. Enthusiasts can now revel in several courses in the city's immediate surroundings, and several more courses are on their way!

International golf tournaments each year attract professional and amateur golfers - not to mention hoards of aficionados - from around the globe to Puerto Vallarta's ideal golf setting. In fact, PGA golf whizzes like Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman have even stepped in with their expertise of the game to design some of the area's top-notch golf courses; the crème de la crème is the Vista Vallarta Golf Club's two courses, one of which was designed by Nicklaus.
